Keep it long, treasure it long.

A classic piece

As a knit factory, Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd. has been working on the technological development of knit textiles since its establishment, and working on manufacturing with quality that is unprecedented in the world. YONETOMI NEW BASIC was launched by such a long-established manufacturer as a knit project to develop basic items that are close to "new everyday life".

Basque shirt made with Japanese technology.

The WAVE COTTON Basque Knit Crew Neck is a modern knit technique that expresses the Basque shirt, which has its roots in work clothes worn by fishermen and sailors since the 16th century, in the seaside Basque Country that straddles France and Spain. Basque knit is made for working people, so it is durable enough to be worn for a long time, and it is a standard item that can be worn by children and adults regardless of fashion. It is also a piece of clothing that you want to find your favorite and find the one that will stay with you for a long time to come.

The WAVE COTTON crew neck is made from 100% cotton knit fabric made from yarn by Yonetomi Fiber, and has the softness and toughness of a knit. What we are using is a rugged wavy thread made by twisting thin cotton threads strongly. By further closing the eyes and knitting this thread firmly, it is finished in a tough fabric feeling that is different from the fluffy feeling like a knit. If you look closely, it is a dry touch fabric with unevenness, it is not sticky when it touches the skin, it is refreshing and comfortable to wear, so it seems to be the first place to appear in many opportunities in the year. ..

Also, being strong in washing is a nice point for everyday wear. Although it is a knit, it is washed at the fabric stage, so you can wash it at home without worrying about shrinkage. Basque shirts are often hard at the beginning, but they are soft from the beginning. As it is a knit, it has elasticity in the lateral direction and fits well on the body.

WAVE COTTON The crew neck is a crew neck type. With a tightly packed neck, you don't have to worry about how the inner underwear looks like the boat neck you often see in Basque shirts. This time, we have prepared sizes 1 and 2. 1 is loose, but if you want to wear it in a tunic-like atmosphere, we recommend choosing size 2. This is the one for those who like Japanese manufacturing, those who are looking for something comfortable from the beginning, and those who are looking for a Basque shirt that can be worn for a long time without hesitation.

From Yamagata, the production center of knitwear

In Yamagata Prefecture, many farmers kept silk moths, and the government encouraged the raising of sheep as a side business in rural areas, so each household made a living by spinning yarn. Area where industry has developed. There were many knitwear makers at one time, but it seems that overseas production has increased and the number of factories has decreased. Under such circumstances, Yonetomi Textile Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1952, has continued to knit sweaters while sharpening advanced knit textile development technology.

From material development to product development and mass production, we are consistently doing everything at our own factory in Yamanobe Town. We introduced the first knitting computer and developed various textiles every day because we wanted to produce it in a fun and bright way. With a total of 43 fully automatic flat knitting machines, we are proud of our production system specializing in low gauge, which is the best in Japan and one in the world.

The founder repeated trial and error to overturn the dogma that "knits can't be worn in the summer", and after two years, he said that he published the manufacturing method of the summer sweater he created in the production area. It is said that the knitting industry, which was limited to winter and operated only for half a year, will be able to operate throughout the year, which will bring about a big change. Even now, I continue to search for ways of expression without compromising on history and tradition. YONETOMI NEW BASIC is a knit project in which such a manufacturer pursues basics by making full use of the development technology accumulated over many years. With the aim of "creating a personality that is not found anywhere else," we are creating a basic that is close to "new everyday life" with the addition of nifty details and casual arrangements that are possible only at the factory.
